Animating a beloved manga is always a tricky job. While seeing the pages come to life is exciting, if the adaptation falls short, fans are immensely disappointed. Just a few weeks in since the debut of theSakamoto Daysanime, fans have noticed that the animation quality does not do the original manga justice.
Fans are already divided over the quality of the animation, and claim that the series deserves much better than what it had been handed. While some feel disappointed over the anime, others call it an exaggerated reaction.
Sakamoto Dayshas the potential to be the next big anime
The plot and action sequences ofSakamoto Daysare engaging, to say the least. Taro Sakamoto, the protagonist, has a background similar to that of John Wick. Like the titular character of the hit Hollywood movie series, Sakamoto is also a renowned, feared, and respected ex-hitman. However, unfortunate circumstances force him to get thrown into his once-abandoned world.
The battle choreography in the manga has also been admired by fans and critics alike. The fight scenes in the manga are extremely well-composed, as each sequence is properly highlighted. Ideally, this type of manga can be translated into anime with greater ease.
The Best Scene in Sakamoto Days Shows That Shonen Is Not What It Used to Be
Of course, the conflict inside Sakamoto to be loyal to his family rules while still defeating his enemies adds an extra layer of intrigue to the story. The manga is popular not only in Japan but also overseas, which should have boosted its anime adaptation. Unfortunately, the anime might have lost its edge with its audience.
CanSakamoto Daysmake a comeback with its more action heavy episodes?
Theexpectations that fans hadof theSakamoto Daysanime were high, if not too high. Even if it can’t be compared toJujutsu KaisenorDemon Slayerlevels, fans expected that at least it could be nearer toDandadan. In the end, it fell short of such standards.

In the three episodes that have been released so far, fans have noticed a drop in the animation quality. The action sequences that have been animated so far are not as impressive as other recent series of the same genre. For now, the Boiled vs. Sakamoto battle is the only one that can save the anime from being a disappointment.
At the moment, fans have big doubts over whether TMS Entertainment can pull off the major action scenes in the upcoming episodes. Nothing exceptional has happened so far in the series, and fans hope that the studio does not mess up the battles. Needless to say, everyone is hoping to be proved wrong.
Sakamoto Daysmanga is available to read on Viz Media, and the anime is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
